[Alveolar echinococcosis in the French province of Ardennes: isolated case or new focus?].

The first three autochthonous cases of alveolar echinococcosis were diagnosed in the Ardennes area (France). This is the most occidental localization of this disease in Northern Europe. The authors discuss these cases with an epidemiological regard. They are looking for relationships with natural parasitic cycle in the neighbouring country Belgium and their consequences on local public health in the future.

[Burgeoning form of cancer of the superior biliary bifurcation Nosological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Apropos of a case].

The authors report a case of fungating cholangiocarcinoma of the porta hepatis, revealed by jaundice in a 73-year-old cholecystectomized female. The diagnosis of obstruction of the hepatic duct junction suspected by ultrasonography and computed tomography was confirmed intraoperatively. Disobstruction was followed by laterolateral choledocoduodenostomy. An early recurrence required a second disobstruction with surgical then endoscopic insertion of a drain, with 23 months of satisfactory survival. The discussion is focused on hilar fungating cholangiocarcinoma. The extrahepatic (Klatskin tumor) or intrahepatic origin of these lesions, the circumstances and morphological investigations for the diagnosis are discussed. Particularities of the treatment are mentioned, with emphasis on the possible participation of the endoscopist for choledocho or hepaticoduodenostomy.

[Gallstone duodenal obstruction or Bouveret's syndrome. Apropos of two cases].

Bouveret's syndrome is a rare form of Gallstone Ileus, characterized by its duodenal site after migration through a cholecysto-duodenal fistula in almost all cases. The two cases reported emphasize the interest of endoscopy in its early diagnosis. A therapeutic schema is proposed, based upon a systematic initial endoscopic extraction trial. The surgical treatment when needed is discussed in its modalities, and adapted to a reasonable evaluation of general and local conditions.

[Cancer of the anus arising within condylomata acuminata. Apropos of 2 cases. Review of the literature].

Two cases of squamous carcinoma of the anus developing from condylomata acuminata are reported. The general characteristics of condylomata acuminata are reviewed: viral etiology due to HPV virus, histological appearance and role in the the genesis of certain cancers. The association of condylomata acuminata and cancer of the anus is more particularly studied in a review of the literature: etiology, anatomoclinical aspects, treatment and current state of knowledge concerning the oncogenic role of HPV virus at this site.

[Study of the annual mortality statistics in a general surgical ward with digestive and vascular orientation at a general hospital center].

Quality of care has been evaluated in this study by the criterion of mortality in a Digestive and Vascular Surgery unit. The analysis over a one-year period concerned 34 dead patients among 1298 entered and 1,108 operated patients who underwent 1,248 operations. The causes of death have been studied in the 3 groups: non operated (5 patients), digestive (20 patients), vascular (9 patients), with distinction of emergency surgery. Therapeutic habits have been systematically reexamined and considered either adapted or to be modified. Punctual conclusions of such a study are interesting for the medico-surgical team but also for the nursing team. Transparency of mortality for a whole team is a factor of progress by the periodical reappraisal of the therapeutic habits based upon accurate data, and by the better collaboration in the team.

[Congenital diverticulum of the lower choledochus. Apropos of a case with intraduodenal development].

The onset of subicterus in a patient revealed the presence of a congenital diverticulum of lower common bile duct of intraduodenal development. A part from the rarity of this lesion this case is of interest due to the complete range of ultrasound, endoscopic and CT scan imaging performed, the association of a common mesentery and the surgical technique employed. The latter comprised exeresis by transduodenal approach and a side-to-side choledocho-duodenal anastomosis through the intermediary of the diverticular sleeve. The nosology and differential diagnosis of diverticulum of lower common bile duct are discussed and data from a literature review used to describe diagnostic, etiopathogenic and histopathologic aspects as well as complications and treatment of this type of congenital dilatation of lower biliary tract.
